She was very tired and
really exhausted when she
finally got to the door of
the house that was old.
The key turned slowly. Inside, it smelled of dust and old paper, and something else she could not name yet.

Before / After
The Editorial Lab
Watch a rough paragraph become a refined one — and see the reasoning behind every change. Original demonstration text.
Before
In my opinion I think that the city was very, very big and it was basically kind of overwhelming to Maria who had arrived there for the first time , and she felt small.
After
Why this change?
Unnecessary words
“In my opinion” and “I think” say the same thing — and the narrator's view is already implied.
Weak verb + repetition
“Sprawled” carries size and shape in one active verb, replacing “was very, very big”.
Hedging
Hedges weaken the claim. Trust the reader to feel it.
Unclear phrasing + punctuation
Restructured for rhythm; fixed the stray space before the comma.
Repetition
Shared subject lets the sentence end cleanly on its strongest image.
